About the video

This footage, a monthly report produced by The White House Naval Photographic Unit, captures the activities of President Johnson in November 1966. Upon returning from an international tour at the start of the month President Johnson prepared himself to undergo surgery, and therefore spent much of the month at the LBJ Ranch, resting and conducting official business. Highlights of Johnson’s presidency captured in this monthly report include: a meeting with important US officials including Robert McNamara, UN Ambassador Arthur Goldberg, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, former President Dwight Eisenhower, as well as Gerald Ford; press conferences and awards ceremonies held at the LBJ ranch, including an award ceremony at which astronauts Edwin Aldrin and James Lovell are presented with Exceptional Service Medals; the first family also features into the footage including images of President Johnson and Lady Bird Johnson celebrating their 32nd wedding anniversary. As President Johnson spent much of November 1966 preparing for, and then recovering from, surgery there are many images in this footage of Texas, including: the LBJ Ranch, the Municipal City Hall and Saint Barnabas Episcopal Church in Fredricksburg Texas, Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, and the Welhausen School in Cotulla Texas where President Johnson had taught.

More About the Video

The films created by The White House Naval Photographic Unit documented the life of the President and first family in both an official and unofficial capacity. During the early years of the Johnson administration the films primarily documented ceremonial events, but in June 1966 monthly reports concerning the President began being produced. The monthly reports provide insight into a range of the President’s activities by documenting and presenting a clear portrayal of what the President did in that month. The monthly reports also captured happenings in the life of the first family.
